The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Woe unto every backbiter, slanderer, 1 [Woe unto him who amasses wealth and counts it a safeguard, 2 Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever! 3 No indeed; he shall be thrust into the Crusher; 4 And what could make thee conceive what that crushing torment will be? 5 A fire kindled by God, 6 to penetrate into the hearts. 7 Lo! it is closed in on them 8 In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars, etc.). 9
